Understanding GenderLabs™ 

System Interface

Overview

When you first start up GenderLabs™ you are presented with the Calendar screen, which presents you with a quick overview of your current state of fertility and at the same time, scheduled events and tasks are also visually presented as below: -

The Calendar displays your fertility information using text, background color and icons in the first 2 rows of the calendar box. 

The uppermost row is called ‘Fertility Bar’ and it typically displays the date and details of the fertility cycle. For example ‘24   A-C1-D10’ means it is the 24^th day of the month and the letter ‘A’ represents ‘Actual’ ie. fertility status of the day is calculated using the actual or recorded symptoms (data) and you will also find letter ‘F’ which represent ‘Forecast’ being used to indicate fertility status that is estimated without the support of observed symptoms such as when no symptoms is recorded or a future date.  While C1 stands for Cycle No. 1 and D10 stands for Cycle Day No. 10, the background color indicate the ongoing fertility in term of Phase 1, 2 or 3. The default color assigned to Phase 1 (pre-ovulation) and 3 (post-ovulation) (both phases are infertile) are light grey, Phase 2 (fertile phase) is being colored as orangey brown. For those practicing gender preselection, pinks represents ideal timing for conceiving Girl and pastel blue for Boy. The day with bright red backgrounds is of particular significance as it represents the ovulation day estimated by the system. Although not exactly advisable but should you wish to do so perhaps during a pregnancy, you can always make use the Fertility Bar (with distinctive background color) to indicate other event such as vacation etc. instead of fertility details.

The second row at the top (right after the Fertility Bar) is reserved for icons that represent the various fertility symptoms such as Menstruations etc.

The center portion of the calendar is for user to take brief notes with practical text editing tools including ‘Bullets’, ‘Strikethrough’ and ‘Font Color’ etc. so that the notes can be displayed in a ‘precise and concise’ manner.

Lastly, the bottom row has been assigned to display icons representing Reminders, Task and Notes (do not confuse this notes with the discussed earlier which you can write in calendar itself). This particular notes is the one with built-in graphic capability where you can take not only notes with text but you can also do it graphically with drawing tools and picture insertion.

Background colors and icons are assigned once your fertility symptoms have been recorded. Similarly, icons for Reminders, Tasks and Notes will also be displayed once there is any created.
